This invention. relates a milk bottles and similar beverage containers, and relates especially .to a container comprising a widemouthed bottle having a Q top, a paper disc stopper therefor, and. a

waxed paper tumbler, which preferably is approximately the size of an ordinary glass Like reference characters denote'like parts in these drawings. I,

In the drawings a flanged or beaded top-or rim, as shown,

the mouth having a seat carrying a paper disc seal B. C is an inverted receptacle or tumbler .fitting neatl around ,the rim or flange of the bottle an constricted beneath 1t,-

as shown at E. The'tumbler has folds as shown at D. 'Preferably the upper rim of the tumbler is rolled very sli htly awit y from the walls of the bottle as s own Thepaper tumbler as waxed or otherwise rendered water-resistant. Various. waxes. may be used for impregnation, such as paraflin wax, ceresinwax,-carnauba wax, Montan Wax, rosin or other resins, orv mixtures of rosin, and'the like, withany ofv the l waxes aforesaid. Mi I tures of f waxes likewise may be used; Calcium or magnesiumstearate or compositions containing these waterproofing materials also may be empl'olyed. In certaincopending appi setforth various forms of'containers capped ,general, are made of relatively eavy paper, and in -particular of coarse paper prepared from ground wood andsulphite caps are intended merely to cover of the bottle to protect it from I carry flanged or beaded A is a glass bottle having plaits or cations have; t t J v area ofcontact f the paper tumbler with the with what is lmown as hood ca 5.

serve as a seal. Heavy paper which will a large amount of hard wax binder preferably is used in order to have present enough binder to give the requisite sealing effect. When such hood caps on the bottle 'are exposed to dampness the sealing effect often quickly disappears and the hood cap may in fact loosen and unfold in the course of a few hours in contact with water. In the present invention, instead of having simply a shallow tumbler or tray secured around merely the bottle rim, I. employ a receptacle of substantial depth, the walls of which preferably having a height consider ably greater than the base when said recepr tacle' is placed upright ready to receive a liquid. By so proportioning the height to diameter, a paper tumbler is obtained as aforesaid, which has the two-fold function of serving as a drinking glass and alsohaving 'suflicient area of contact with the sides of the bottle to remain quite firmly in place, even under severe conditions of moisture.

The tumbler. 's' applied to the bottle by..- sliding it over the-bottle mouth and then con-. stricting the portion below the flange to obtain a. neat fitting effect, as indicated by the drawings. The waxedtumbler may be heated before it is applied and on being clamped when still warm will. quickly harden in coni tact with'the cold walls of the bottle and remain shaped thereto.

Preferably I employ paper which is white in color'andas a binder preferably parafiin wax of high quality. In this way a tumbler which is white ,in. appearance;- giving an attractive effect to the container results.

In the employment of so-called hood caps, it'has been proposed to employ hard waxes as the binding agent in order to prevent fouling of the bottles-by adherence of a softer and unsaponifiable wax such as'paraflin wax.

In the present invention, owing to the large sides of the bot, le, thereis no occasion for so powerful andyfionceiitrated a binding efiect. Therefore,

I hay/employ." paraflin T wax in quantity snflicient'to produce a pod waterffect, soz-"thatthetuni l'er may be employed for 'drinln'ng purposes on jwith-- is drawal from the bottle. By using only a moderate proportion of parafiin wax, it is not squeezed out of the paper on; clamping, and therefore does not foul the bottle. This enables the employment of a cheap wax and one which, moreover, is white in color, whereas, most of the high melting point hard waxes are not white, and their employment tends to discolor the paper. This is especially true when such waxes are employed with a ground vzood paper stock, such as that referred to a ove.

Paper which I prefer to employ in the practice of the present invention is a high grade bleached sulphite pulp stock of good strength and having a thickness of about 0.1 to 0.13 mm.

What I claim is:

1. A container for milk comprising a widemouthed bottle having a flanged top, a paper disc stopper therefor, and a waxed papertumblerof approximately the size of an ordinary glass tumbler, said paper tumbler being carried in inverted position on the upper partof the bottle and being held in place'against the side walls thereof by constriction for a considerable distance below the bottle flange.

2. A container for milk comprising a widemouthed bottle having a flanged top, .a paper disc stopper therefor, and a parafiined paper tumbler carried in inverted position on the upper part of the bottle and being held in place against the side walls thereof by constriction for a considerable distance below the bottle flange.
